We believe
that there is one living and true God, eternally existing in three persons: the
Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, equal in power and glory; this triune God created all, upholds all, and governs all.
that the scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are the Word of God, fully inspired, without error in the original manuscripts, and the infallible rule of faith
and practice.
in God the Father, an infinite, personal Spirit, perfect in holiness, wisdom, power, and love; that He concerns Himself mercifully in the affairs of men; that He hears
and answers prayer; and that He saves from sin and death all who come to Him through Jesus Christ.
in Jesus Christ, God's only begotten Son, conceived by the Holy Spirit. We believe in His virgin birth, sinless life, miracles and teachings, His substitutionary atoning death, bodily resurrection, ascension into heaven, perpetual intercession for His people, and personal, visible return to earth.
in the Holy Spirit, who came forth from the Father and Son to convict the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment; and to regenerate, sanctify, and empower all who believe in Jesus Christ for ministry. We believe that the Holy Spirit indwells every believer in Jesus Christ and that He is an abiding helper, teacher, and guide. We believe in the present
ministry of the Holy Spirit and in the exercise of all the Biblical gifts of the Holy Spirit.
that all People are sinners by nature and choice, and, therefore, are under condemnation;
that God regenerates by the Holy Spirit those who repent of their sins and confess Jesus Christ as Lord. We believe that the Holy Spirit baptizes the believer into the Body of Christ
at regeneration and empowers the believer for service, often subsequent to regeneration.
in the universal Church, the living spiritual body, of which Christ is the head and all regenerated persons are members.
that Jesus Christ committed two ordinances to the Church:
* Baptism
* The Lord's Supper
in baptism by immersion and communion open to all believers.
in the pre-millennial, pre-tribulation rapture of the church. We also believe in the
personal, visible return of Christ to the earth and the establishing of His kingdom, the resurrection of the body, the final judgment and eternal blessing of the righteous, and
in the endless suffering of the wicked
